Year 4 have been learning how to round to the nearest whole number this week in Math. They thoroughly enjoyed playing a ‘beat your partner’ rounding game.
Another very busy and amazing week in Reception. We had a visit from Mr O who was showing us some instruments, using rhythm and music. The creativity is fabulous! Amazing team work and lots of imagination. We have been using our maths skills in lots of our planning time and the independent writing has blown us away. The sunny weather is definitely helping as we can be outside working together ❤️⭐️
In 2 red this week we’ve had a huge focus on explaining, verbalising and reasoning our methods and processes. To help us practice this, we have been teaching our aliens to add! We’ve had to make sure we have explained every detail of the methods to help our alien learn all about addition in Year 2.
What a busy time we have had in Reception. Some amazing creations, writing and maths using our first, then, now language. Great collaborations, exploring and fun in the sun ❤️
We had a lovely morning with Reception parents earlier in the week. We showed them some of our Maths and English skills and how we use these skills through our groups sessions and through our play. I think everyone was so impressed at our growing independence!
In 2 Blue this week we have been looking at measuring in centimetres and metres. We have measured long and short items around our classroom and in the wider school. We looked at all of the different ways in which measuring can be done, our favourite was the Trundle wheel! We know that to get an accurate measurement we must make sure we line our ruler or tape measure up nice and straight and that we start at zero.
Reception have been showing off their independent reading, writing and maths skills. We have been reading words, hunting for them outside and writing sentences. We are using skittles, counters and objects to investigate number bonds of 10. We have decorated pots and then sprinkled cress seeds in to make cress heads. We talked about what the seeds need so that they will grow. We have some new additions to Reception. Everyone was so excited to see the frogspawn. We will be investigating how they change, grow and how we can look after them.
What a fabulous couple of hours we all had yesterday! L:ots of our children’s adults came to our stay and play. We are so proud of how Reception children have progressed socially and academically and letting them show everyone these fabulous skills was a pleasure.
What a fabulous week! We have played guess who with the baby photos using our time language. Had races to see how fast we can pick up items or run in a set amount of time. We made the most amazing play dough pancakes our story in Drawing Club was ‘The Little Red Hen’ we also read ‘The Little Red Hen Makes Pizza’. We decided to make our own pizzas. The children chose their toppings and then sat with their friends to eat their delicious creations ❤️
Wow, what a busy time Reception have had. We have been looking at the Emergency Services and how they help us. The children have been full emersed and are ready to join when they are older! We have been using the story Three Billy Goats in Drawing Club and the children have loved creating bridges, recreating the story and writing sentences about the story. We have also been measuring our hands and feet. A fabulous couple of weeks!
